Stuck at Apple logo...

[MrCreeky]

My instillation is freezing at the Apple progress bar phase. I created the EFI via UniBeast v9 and everything is out of the box standard.

Would anyone have pointers for me as to what I should be looking for?

Boot verbose and take a picture of the screen where it stops. Press the spacebar at the Clover Main Menu. Check Verbose and then "Boot macOS with selected options."

Small update, Selecting USB Ownership in the Clover settings menu allows the install to progress to the Language display screen. Only problem is now, the USB mouse and Keyboard don't work.

Here is where we get too @trs96

Try rebooting a few times when you reach the Language screen. Often times just doing that will get USB working. Put your mouse and keyboard in USB 2.0 ports. Underneath the PS2 port.

I've tried the re-booting but to no avail. Interestingly, I edited the BIOS by switching the XHCI Hand-off to Enabled. Doing so now allows me to reach the Language screen without adding USB Ownership in the Clover menu. From what I understand, the B360 chipset has no USB 3.0 support and very little options in the BIOS too. Would it be worth creating the boot loader with the Legacy drivers to see if that cues the non responsive USB inputs?

Probably not. Can you complete the install now ?

No, I'm still stuck at the point of having no mouse or keyboard input at the Language screen.

I was looking at the post made here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-10-14-1-update.263758/

My current config file only mentions USB in this section of code:

<key>Comment</key>
<string>Remove USB port limit in XHCI kext</string>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
g/sPD4MDBQAA
</data>
<key>MatchOS</key>
<string>10.14.x</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
g/sPkJCQkJCQ
</data>

Looking at the update thread, I should be adding the following:

<key>Comment</key>
<string>USB 10.14 by PMHeart,FredWst</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
g/sPD4MDBQAA
</data>
<key>InfoPlistPatch</key>
<false/>
<key>MatchOS</key>
<string>10.14</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
g/sPkJCQkJCQ
</data>

Is it just a simple case of adding this code to that config file?
